The car is stripped on the back, so shouldn't have any chance of rubbing. New wheels are 16x7 et25. 195/40/16. (no et20 like first thought). So you guys are basically saying, that they're not going to be ideal, but can still be used?

Does anyone know of places I can go to actually look at wheels, i'm not talking motormania or halfords but proper store that all they really do? North essex preferable but suffolk or anywhere essex or kent

Is the shock attached at the top? and is the bottom ball joint in the hub?

^^ what wheel and tyre sizes are you using (offset etc) and are your 16mm spacers all around?

The current wheels are 16x7. I have coilovers too with adjustable damping. Surely this will help?

I've got a 9100, best bit of audio type kit i've bought for a car ever! skinz has it right, just remember the mute cable, if fitted correct it should say (Speech) on the display at the top of the dash.

Car looks lovely. Just seen you're based at wattisham too, I'm based in colchester but live in the pads at wattisham so I'm sure I'll see this about!

I've just ordered a set of wheels and tyres. The wheels have an offset of 20. Just checking, but is this the same as have 15mm spacers all around, or is it going to cause problems? (they are 16x7) ​

Great, thanks tony.

Cheers mick, turns out it's the front o/s abs ring. Doesn't seem like theres damage to much else but couldn't get the abs sensor out to have a look. It looks like it's pressed on the drive shaft, do you know if I can get a new abs ring or will it be a new shaft?

i was driving along dual carriage way when there was a bang (something falling off the car), as this happened the above 3 lights came on but there was no change in the braking. I turned the engine off and on to see if it cleared the lights, which it did finally, then on braking it makes a weird...

Provided it goes through the MOT with the old cat on i think i'll leave it. Thanks for the response.

I had fitted a miltek manifold back exhaust with de cat and recently re fitted the cat to the beautiful quiet exhaust it once was lol other than the sound, based on a standard (non mapped) 182 is there really any benefit of having a de cat fitted?

what's the issue mate? I'm in colchester atm but only have diagnostics via bt dongle and torque?

BMC sticker in rear window. Looked nice and standard from the outside.

i've got a bluetooth one and torque pro on my phone. works a treat

I'll definitely still be there with the missus.

i know its too late but i wouldve gone for 384.

I think it looks pretty smart. The ford rs badge is a nice touch, though id personally spray it same colours as the other badges.

I've got a set of wheels i need to strip back to bone before refurbing them. Would anybody recommend anything in particular?

Right, I've decided on Elf 75/80 oil, but i just need to know how much oil is needed and am i right in thinking box is fill to spill?

If you do it, do it properly. e.g. take the dash out. over spray gets everywhere even with masking.

what brand of seat do you have?

i would stay well away from sticker bomb. Looks pish imo. Is there something wrong with the dash for you to want to paint it?

thread length please dan

thats a fair shout, cheers.

all i'm trying to do is accommodate the difference in offset. I've got wheels which are a et42. so simple wheel spacers seem ok. I'm really not sure how much goes in or are longer bolts needed at all?
